Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Savage Collectors PRICE CHECK - SAVAGE MODEL 99 in .300 Savage.

I have a Savage Model 99 in 300 Savage that I may part with. I don't know a lot about the Savages and don't even know what letter (or letters) go with the model #.

It has a schabel (sp) fore end and a brass counter. It's serial number is 416XXX. The wood and metal are like new and there are no extra holes. The screws also look unmolested. The lever has a lot of case color.

I know someone, or maybe everyone, is going to ask for photos, and I am willing to take some, just not tonight.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks. donsm70

Unless it happens to be a really late G, it sounds like an EG. Prices vary by condition $400-600. G is the take down version, EG solid frame.

The takedown 99G will have a forearm attached with a latch, the solid frame 99EG has the forearm attached with a screw.

Pictures would help, but Fireball2 got the range down, though his high end will usually be for a very nice 99EG in 300. There are a ton of those out there, by far the most produced model/cartridge combination made in the Savage 99 family.


SN 414,800'ish 99EG:

Bought one this summer; SN 446,ish $275. An EG, good wood, no extra holes except for sling mounts. About going price here.

Thanks guys.

It has a screw, no latch.

Can it be dated by the S/N?

Any more comments?

Best we can do on a date for that serial number is towards the end of 1941. There's no factory records for that timeframe, but that should be close.

Thanks Calhoun.

That's a lot more than I knew before. Any guess on a price range?

I gotta get out more, what part of Northern Ont?

The Soo is selling them at $450.

Finally make my lamp at $275!

was that in 300 savage as well?

You mean they came in more calibers than that?

I thought that they only came in .303 British.

you know i'am just looking for the last 303--and 30-30,
i think it was jimmy that had the 303 ,if i had known that he was after a nice 300 EG i would have done him a trade.

norm

at that price you could become a gun runner across the border

Do they really go for that little in that condition? Looking at the various auction sites, it seems they want $500 for one in only fair condition and that has been modified by putting a recoil pad on, or sling swivels, or (and most commonly) a scope.

For example, on one of the auction sites right now there's a .300, appears to be an EG, comes with a replaced buttstock (very good shape, therefore) but with a badly fit recoil pad. The rear sight is missing, and there are cheap scope mounts on it. There's also a lot of the blueing worn off and some visible pitting on the breech block.

There is still a half-day to go on this firearm, and currently it is bid up to $352.
